Saturday, February 16, 2008	“No major city across the nation gives its mayor the power to appoint the city’s chief financial monitor, the city auditor. For good reason. A city auditor has the duty to scrutinize and report on the mayor’s financial bookkeeping and performance. If the city auditor isn’t fully independent of the person whose books are being audited (the mayor) it’s not just bad public policy, it’s a standing invitation to corruption.” — President of League of Women Voters of San Diego Norma Damashek
